What is FDU file?
The file with the extension FDU is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Software AG. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Natural Security is supported by 1 operating systems.

This was created by Software AG.
How to open FDU file?
An often recurring problem with Natural Security is that FDU is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FDU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FDU file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install NaturalONE
In this case, you should first verify that the NaturalONE application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name NaturalONE in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FDU with NaturalONE. Below you will find a list of applications that support FDU files.
Programs to open FDU file
Remember to download programs supporting FDU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NaturalONE with FDU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FDU file still does not use the NaturalONE program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FDU file with the NaturalONE application.
Step 3. Update NaturalONE to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NaturalONE program with the Natural Security file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Software AG page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FDU file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FDU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FDU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FDU file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FDU file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FDU files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FDU file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Software AG help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FDU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FDU file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FDU file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
